Hate reporting on Prophet Bushiri’s Mzuzu Conference: Sunday Times

1. I agree with the contents of this article. It’s completely impractical to get things free just because they are religious. Who will pay for the COSTS. If you love your religious life you have to divert money from your luxuries and other things and fell the pain for it. No church gives out things free. Be talking about our national/tax money which politicians ang government officials waste.

2. And to whose benefit Sulungwe writes or wrote this article?

3. I tell you all people, repent and come to Jesus. Soon He is coming to take what is His. The wealth of this world will not save us. You will be told what your ears want to hear. But this I tell you as commanded by God to do so. Jesus, our savour alone!!!

4. Uyo wandapulikiske, manyiyekha.

5. ONLY GOD KNOWS THE TRUTH……….. just conctrate on your own savation otherwise muzingokangana za ziiiiiiiiii

6. I do not know what this Silungwe man is on about.

7. As a human being after more than 2000 years ago of prophetic history,I would not be pushed into believing that Bushiri is a prophet.However,it is not a strange phenomenon in Malawi.Hastings Banda was widely known as Wamuyaya and Mesiah and astonishingly,people believed it.If Bushiri is indeed a Prophet,why couldn’t he warn Malawians of the coming tragic floods in the south? I strongly believe that Bushiri is one of those who are exploiting the weak minds of our people to enrich himself in the name of God.In the Bible Jesus said: Time will come when people will use my name to their own advantage and this is it.People be aware of false prophets.

8. We dont know ,that we dont know.All spiritual materials that man has laid his hands on, are to be sold.Only salvation by Jesus is for free.

9. SURE THE GOSPEL OF JESUS IS FREE BUT WHAT MAKES THAT GOSPEL TO GO TO THE PEOPLE OF GOD IS NOT FREE THINK OF HOW PROPHET CAME FROM SOUTH AFRICA DID THIS RUBISH JOURNAL PAY FOR HIM ,GO FOR BID BLESS PEOPLE MAN OF GOD WE ARE WTH YOU IN PRAYER HERE IN THYOLO PRAY FOR THIS MALAWI AMEN

10. Silungwe Just Showed That He Is More Inept Than The Journo He Is Bashing. People Of His Ilk Who Cant Handle Dissent Have No Place In This Society. It Should Have Been Easy For Silungwe To Know That In Spiritual Matters, Economic Gain Becomes Mundane. I Know Of Journos Worth Their Salt, And Certainly Silungwe Is Not One Of Them.

11. mmmh no coment no jelous only God knows the truth

12. @PMW

    Your comment is 100% on point i wrote something similar but it deleted by Nyasatimes..which clearly verifies exactly what you have said about which side Nyasatimes is on.

    Most of us will face the afterlife we never expected because of being gullible and afraid of facing the truth with God on our side

13. Last days

14. This was a Bushiri’s Miracle Crusade – can someone tell me one miracle that he performed? I mean him and not God – because somehow, God seems to be second place in all these things and that the “Major” is now number one!!

    Secondly, can I correct someone who said Bushiri is in South Africa because Malawians are envious. Please give me a break!! If Malawians are such devils and that they are on their way to hell, is this not a place where he should be. The Lord’s gospel came for such kind of devils. His impact would be felt more by such envious people!

    Bushiri is in South Africa because that is where he would make more money – PERIOD. He was selling “spiritual” things because that is what makes him money. The Lords gospel is for free – it was given for free and and it should be given for free.

    Now – you justify all these evils because you paid 5 million to Jai Banda, chartered a plane to Malawi, paid allowances for 100 bodyguards! Did he deserve all this in the name of mounting a crusade!! Really people!!

15. Kelvin Sulugwe u r my man. Lecture ur fellow Journals. Nsanje ndi imene yakula apa. I think the Author was paid by Majo 1’s enemies to turnish his reputation. Apapa I hope wadzimvera yekha. Sadzalembanso zozizira.

16. so you posted an article on the internet complaining about a print article (one that has been read by easily 20 times the number of people who will read this). Do the words ‘get a life’ really have to be said? Judging by how dense you seem to be… yes. So get a life! You’re obviously a Bushiri sympathiser and you let your emotions guide your writing. Very unprofessional. I’m surprised nyasatimes approved this for publishing. Then again nyasatimes IS home to a lot of bias. Maybe next time you won’t blow a fuse after reading someone’s opinion and run home to write a ‘revenge’ article just to prove a point. I bet you skulk the internet just looking for people that say negative things about your blessed prophet and attack them, hahaha. People with your kind of flawed reasoning are exactly what is wrong with this country. All I’m trying to say here is muzikula amwene. If someone has a different opinion from yours then REPORT on it, don’t judge it. If you want people to care about your opinion then you’re in the wrong field. The world of journalism has no place for such childish behaviour. You want to see ‘total trash’? How about proofreading your pathetic excuse for an article? Now THAT is total trash 🙂

17. Prophet my foot

18. Ku LL the past years ananena kuti he will priphecy to those with K10 pin more than 40 pple came out, ena ankachonderera kuti ali ndi zochepa koma sanathandizidwe!

19. tis very unfortunate that what malawians need most is economic salvation. thus: we look at Bushiri as a solution to our economic woes. one thing I can beg from my fellow malawians is that you don’t have to compare JESUS with Bushiri otherwise you may unwitinglly commit blasphemy. I don’t believe that one has to do something only to convince others that he is a man of GOD. Instead of GOD fighting for people it is now people fighting for GOD. Times might change but the word of GOD does not change so you need to be extra careful. if you know your head is full of emptness dont be attempted to comment or write an article for the things you dont know and understand only to show that you are a journalist. This sounds so stupid to me. And you sulugwe which journalistic expertise can nyasa times boast of? don’t you see that your writing does not respect and safeguard english gramar? we just try to bear with your on line paper or should we say there are no editors there that you just write what you guess you fouls?

20. This is useless defence of exploitation by people using the name of Jesus Christ for personal gain. Remember God is watching and some day you will pay for this

21. yesani zonse sungani chokomacho. Do not judge for you will be judged.

22. Mr Kelvin Sulugwe if you ever thought Romab Catholic,Jesus Christ and youe bible will take you closer to the genuine Creator, forget it!All religions are fakes.We don’t need these to be closer to Him.A sane human being naturally must know there is Him.A newly born baby is never tought how to breast feed and how to defaecate.Ask yourself how many religions and their so called holy books do we have on this earth?And why? Why do we have conflicts in the middle east,Nigeria, Somalia,here in Malawi Livingstonia and Nkhoma CCAP synods,Original and Genuine SDA churches in area 23 Lilongwe,Winners and Soul winners chapels? The list is endless.Religion is just there to fool retarded minds and rip them of their wealth.We pay taxes such as PAYE and taxes on goods ,commodities and services and yet the churches want their taxes as TITHES!Duplication!Endless paper Sundays!Bulshit!

23. a Malawi kutengeka. utsiru wanu

24. Only God knows

25. Mmmmmmmm people of malawi shame on u let major l be

26. Pls leave the man of god bcos god is using major.people get job,healing,they finecial.we need this in Swaziland iyeeeeeee majorl do samething

27. touch not the holy anointed one

28. I bet God kills Himself laughing at what is going on in the world – individuals claiming they are closer to Him than others!!

29. Prophet???.

30. That’s totaly works of devil himseif

31. Everything close to Jesus receives attack. I know Major 1, is a true man of God thats why eople hates me. But no matter the hatred, jealous and envy, you will need him one day. What wrong did he do to you? You are injected with the devil so that you should confuse other peoples mind. Hate him thats fine but dont make others to hate him cos of you.

    Mark my words, you will need him one day!

32. what kind of a stupid question is that ,or. are u Hindu o Muslim because if U were Christian u would not say that. Jesus is a spirit ,shame u. dint know that

33. pple let not 4get that satan use bble in tumbuka we cal nyengo zaumaliro kwizenge ???? watesi kuti wakulikana wapule bcareful mau amati musapiteko!!

34. If the article wanted to discredit the author, the article would have answered the following questions. We’re people told to buy the so called anointing water? Were people asked to pay MK10,000 for prayers? If the answers to these two questions are yes! Then the writer has wasted his time writing this article, if the answer is No! Then the article is right. Judging from the contents of this article I notice one thing, fury from the writer and idiosyncrasies against Sunday Times simply because it featured an article that does not favour his faith. Wake up brother, you can just establish your own paper, do not expect a national paper like Sunday Times to be your propaganda paper! Tchutchutchu!

35. last days udzabwera aneneli amene zidzachita zozizwitsa ngat Jesus nde pamenepa tikhulupilire bushiri kapena Holy bible ?abusa mpakana asilikali omiteteza? Yesu analibe ngakhale even bodyguard koma otsatira ake amene nthawi zima he told them to preach in the door to door ,streets and everywhere kumene kuli anthu koma apolice can they preach the word of God ? chonde amalawi believe the holy bible ,God,Jesus christ osati muthu amene amabwera with strange miracles nde ndikumati watumidwa ndimulungu?adzikundira chuma chankhaninkhani mot athandize anthu ovutika ?

36. Please,you say the blind saw,the lame walked during bushiris crusade? are you sure? Aren’t these delusions now? Give some of us a break

37. The work of God is not an easy one. Of course we have the standard that has been laid down to us as gospel truth which is the Bible, the word of God. However, the challenges facing the word of God is that every one has his/own interpretation of the word especially scriptural verses and chapters. There is a mixed bag of interpretations with others getting it right while others completely misleading and wrong. During the time of Christ, the Jews already had a background of worshiping God and with them there was the word of God which they used to quote during ceremonies. The difference that Christ created was how he used the same words to tell the truth about God and save many souls from sin.
    Today, before us we have the word too that all of us who worship Him above are to use in order to know Him more. Unlike the time of Jesus where only a few people were able to access some technology though limited as well with many of them being illiterate today people should not think spreading the word of God can go without questions. Christians must be prepared to give correct answers pertaining to the work of God. We have very good motivating answers to the work of God hence i find it strange whenever people concentrate on things that are not Godly at all in their quest to defend what they are doing. God says let your yes be yes not more than that.

38. we are lost,God should guide us

39. We as malawian our Eyes are clossed wen it Will be Open Tings We Be Wes God help malawi

40. Papa I didn’t know u will favour me this wway,thank u major1 your a real man of GH god,stop waisting your time by talking wat u dont know about major1 bcos 1 day u wil go to him need help,god c choose him with his reason,papa I love u and your the best prophet south Africa aAmen

    1. mmm why not go to God , I wonder why people are always bother about what people say bout Men of God ,people will always talk , why bother defending him , his not above anyone but a mere human. , let them talk they will get. tired

41. When you say people should stop worshiping human beings like Bushir but Jesus Christ my simple question is Is Jesus Christ not a human being?

    1. Are you Christian? Cause you should know better if you were one.

       1. Jesus Christ is not a human being by all standards. He is a spirit being but when he was on earth during his first coming He was a human being with super natural powers. It is not godly to worship a fellow human being but God only. Read Deut5: 1-20

42. people r really believng in him! no wonder devil has power to attract those people with less faith.
    little by little you’re souls r being taken by that lier(bushiri).what’s important now is just to kneel down on ur own and ask GOD what u want not through a person like us thats madness,dont u know that even hindus(some or them)can walk in the air?? as for me I DONT BELIEVE AND I WILL NEVER BELIEVE IN HIM!

43. Well written and factual. It must also be pointed out that some of these writers are sent by their pastors or churches.

44. staying in the last days…becareful guys and the devil is rich…biliv me or not peace is frm God not anybdy….

45. its interesting how you are fast to label the person behind the said article in the sunday times envious,i have not read the article in question but i will tell you what is wrong with religion now adays,thats you and your lot supporting blindly,illogicaly this man you call man of God bushiri.there have been many accusations against your so called prophet that you should wonder why its always him but because you are so delusional it wont really.remember jesus fed multitudes of people once and he never asked for anything back

46. MAGANIZO ANUSO AMENEWO MAKAMAKA NUMBER 61 AND 63 INE NDIMAONELA PROPHETIC CHANNEL ALMOST EVERYDAY NDIPO KUKOMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA MAAAAAAAAAAAAAJORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR IYEEEE

47. bushiri ndi mmodzi mwaokwanitsa malemba eti mpaka mabodygurd ambuye musaonthe moyo mwina mawa nkulapa

48. We thank God for the powerful crusade we had. The mute spoke, the lame walked, the dead came back to life, the captives were set free, salvation was our daily food, the gospel of Jesus Christ was preached. Prayer was very free. May God forgive this irresponsible writer and all those that talk bad about His servants. By the way, it was exactly the same thing the time of Jesus. Some believed by grace whilst orhers refused to believe. To God be all the glory!! Christ already overcame the world????

49. Iam a fan of Nyasatimes bt am not happen with this story am not against or hating him but calling the other media unprofessional is unfair maybe you did not read that artical between the lines you might think that is a useless story because you does know the purpuse of the story it might be that he is accussing those who are against the price or the availability of resources to purchase that annointed water or how deseparete they’re to get it because they have trust in Major one.Do not compare the Potraits of Pope with annointed water there is no spiritual power in the poster just like that of Silvester Stallon there is power of dereverance in that water therefore for those who can not afford to purchase can be stressed so calling all news team members unprofessional by saying they did not balance the story and calling it a trash is unfair.

50. any thing genuine no matter how much critisized it shall always stand..even the devil uses GODs power to perform miracles but in a duplicate way..any way i could not stop the critis from doing that..coz the more u critisiz the more u make prophet bushiri famous..if JESUS was critisizd wat more a prophet..infact my bible puts its thiz way a prophet is without honour in his country..it can make sense for someone to critisiz who is also doing the same thing..not an ordinary person who can not even prophesy wat time they shall eat supper or,a kill a chicken..

51. zaziko izi masiku omaliza aneneri onse sikuti ndiochokera kwa mulungu

52. All I know is that our God is a jealous God. He does not share His glory with any man.

53. This is an excellent piece of writing.I have heard such stories and I have largely dismissed them as sour grapes. I have noticed that people are not being objective in their reporting on the event, and are largely being led by their own prejudices. Malawian journalists, not just the one who covered the event for The Sunday Times, are too lazy fory liking. They are wont to publish a story without verification of facts, with no respect for the doctrine of objectivity, and in language that is both mediocre and outrightly puerile.Cheap, pedestrian journalism abounds in this country. The writer of the above article is an exception in many respects and I commend him for his sweet choice of words and erudite syntax. Mate, you should write more often for Nyasa Times, you are a gem in the industry: a new Ralph Tenthani and an aspiring Steve Sharra – I salute you!

54. Kodi Malawi ndi Tanzania akutumulana liti?

55. Kelvin Silungwe worships Bushiri and not God.If their so called ‘Major 1’ is said to manage to spend k5 million if at all it is true on hiring musical equipment,managing to lease a plane how can he fail to offer free prayers to the less privilaged?Ndiye omwe who struggled to afford transport from wherever they came from mpaka akalipire just to be prayed for?If God decided that for every human being to survive he or she should contribute k 1 a day as little as it may seem,how many of us could have been alive?

56. Jealous too much amalawi nchifukwa sitidzatukuka. Ngati simumakhulupilila osangokhala pakhomo bwanji? Koma wowowo basi!

57. Kelvin, the bigger picture that you, being a faithheaded blind dude, is god is a product just like Fanta or a packet of chibuku. The only difference is that Fanta and chibuku are real and are regulated. You can complain to some organization or return the product of mot satisfied, god on the other hand is am invisible product with not guarantee. If what you wish for does not come true, you say ” thy will will be done”! If god was real and created the universe from nothing, why cant the church magically operate on nothing? Why does he need human made money to further his church or agenda? If money is the root of all evil, why is god forced to use it to achieve his goal. Why does an all powerful god have an alternative moneyless plan? It’s because he can’t? If he can’t why call him god? If either there is a god who cannot progress without money or He does not exist which is the most likely to be true?

58. The people listening to these pastors are naïve. Indeed, backwardness is what is making people follow these selfish pastors who are just busy enriching themselves. The author of this article has just shown how gullible and naïve he is. Well done to Sunday Times in particular, Mandy Pindani for writing about what is now becoming foolishness and stupidity. How can a pastor be escorted by Police, in expensive car, designer suits and chartered plane. Now look at the people he was preaching to? PATHETIC. Jesus could never have done this. How on earth can pastors become so rich when the people they are preaching to are poor and disadvantaged? Can the writer of this article explain PLEASE. The reason why Malawi and Africa is failing to develop is because we are easily brainwashed and stupid – that is why pastors are taking advantage of the poor, the sick, and vulnerable people – apparently selling them blessings – but is all because the pastors are try to build their filthy rich personal estates. In fact, pastors are worse than politicians because instead of living a humble life they are busy STEALING from poor and vulnerable people – in effect lying to them. If indeed, these pastors were doing good work, Malawi would not be where it is, Nigeria would not be having the problems that it has and Africa would have been one of the most peaceful, richest and nicest places. God is great and he will punish all these selfish pastors who are enriching themselves and the writer of this article who is supporting such malpractices and sins. It is a sin to steal and what these pastors are doing is to dupe unsuspecting people and steal the little that they have.

59. Tili mmasiku omaliza. Nkhani ndiyoti mukupembeza muthu kapena mulungu? Mulungu amakonda aliyense sidzitengera ndarama olo chan kungokhulupilira. Zonse zimatheka ndambuye. Nkhalani mukudalira muthu choncho ambuye akupezani mukuthamangathamanga choncho ino ndi nthawi yoti ugwilitse. Chomwe uli nacho

60. It got me interested with people from my clan they say they hate Bushiri and his ministry but all the time he was in the crusade they kept sharing information and pictures for the man of God. It amazed me would a man be wasting time on the things he hate? No except when your have interest in

61. DONT WASTE MY TIME. I HAVE CHOSEN TO BE A WISE THINKER, NOT A DUNDERHEAD WHO SUPPORT THIEVES IN THE NAME OF GOD. USELESS THINKING IN MALAWI. SITIDZATUKUKA A MALAWI OR PANG’ONO. THINK TO DEVELOP NOT TO HERO WORSHIP SOMEBODY. MWAMVA?????

62. A malawi sindizakumvetsani. South Africa is getting riches from our own resourses. Prophet Bushiri is employing people from RSA to work for his channel. Inu ulova ukukupwetekani chifukwa cha umbuli. That is why our nation anthem imapempha mulungu kuti agonjetse NSANJE in this country,oyimba anadziwa kuti Malawi is full of ignorance.

    I think i should start following this man of God because i now believe that success attracts enemies…..DZUKA MALAWI! DZUKA!

63. Bushiri why are you crying? its only one article against you. remember malawian journos do not write any positive image concerning any subject because they want all the times a goat to bite a dog not the other way round. imagine the bad coverage these journos make against malawi, the president, our economy, our poverty. That is done only by our journos not those outside Malawi. In fact they have torn you apart and they will make you even weep and weep untli you biba. Ask Pastor Salanje who is heading to USA instead of returning to Malawi. Malawians are jealousy peoples. Look at Chakwera. Very jealousy. He wants to be a president when he is a failure. He performed badly for bye elections in Malawi.

64. Dear Mr. Sulungwe,

    While at first glance, your article, due to its moderate tone, may sway a weak mind into thinking that your writings are logical, it fails miserably in many respects.

    You start off by undermining Mr. Pindani’s article by highlighting that it was a product of an interview that he had with only 2 people. Yet you yourself however also make reference to facts with barely any corroborating evidence apart from your own knowledge e.g. that rosaries are also sold at a price. Yet we can neither discredit Mr. Pindeni nor yourself on the basis that one only interviewed 2 witnesses while the other spoke from personal knowledge. The fact remains that rosaries are sold and Bushiri’s “spiritual” items are also for sale. It was therefore pointless to pinpoint the fact that “only 2 people were interviewed”. By this you were simply trying to undermine Mr. Pindeni’s article by using an inconvenient tool which only the gullible (who, unfortunately, are in the majority) would fall for. Ironically you follow this statement by questioning the writer’s journalistic training, you yourself having committed a journalistic gaffe.

    You then make an opinionated assessment, labelling the article as trash because you did not think what was written therein was newsworthy. With all due respect (and I use this phrase disrespectfully), “newsworthiness” is a matter of taste and opinion. For some, news means keeping up to date with the events in Syria. Others are content just keeping up with the Kardashians. We cannot label one group as trash seekers simply because what is important in their world is not important in ours. I, for one, would like to be apprised whenever wolves, disguised as sheep, are fleecing God’s flock. Mr. Pindeni’s topic of interest was not “trash” in my book. On a side note, isn’t it rich that an online newspaper which built its reputation on writing “trash” would be critiquing another on the same grounds? I guess the more things change, the more they remain the same.

    You then question the writer’s ethics because he has not produced a balanced piece. This tastes like bitter water coming from someone whose entire article appears to be an advert for “Prophet” Bushiri right from the title. No admission whatsoever that the Major Prophet could have committed one mistake or another. It is apparent to most by now that Nyasatimes has been “bought” by Bushiri. No more do we receive balanced coverage on the “man of God”. Whenever the scoundrel commits one silly stunt after another, you can now count on Nyasatimes to give you a “balanced coverage” of the story which is nothing more than public relations damage control. This has been the case since one Nyasa reporter came up with an article that he had suffered misfortune since insulting the “Major Prophet” (or is it major profits?) and had now seen the light. Obviously he saw the light- the light shining on some Kwacha notes as he slipped them into his pocket.

    Now going to the meat. You mention that “spiritual things are not free”. You however entrap yourself when you reveal that certain spiritual entities e.g. St. Egidio and some NGOs do offer free spiritual items. You try to dissociate these from the Major Prophet by stating that they are heavily funded and can therefore afford it. Let’s pause there for a minute. Hasn’t the Major 1 (as his followers call him) been boasting about the Bentleys, and Jets and Mansions he has? Did he not come here in pomp and splendour, hiring even the Malawi police and their police band to add shine to his “crusade”? How is he then insufficiently funded to provide some 10,000 or so people with free water or at least to subsidize as much? He can blow 5 million kwacha on a sound stage but cannot afford 2.5 million kwacha subsidizing water for the poor? He can afford unmentionable millions owning a plane (actually he just rented that Beechcraft but that’s another story) but can’t freely dish out these “spiritual items” which are usually nothing more than kazinga cooking oil in “spiritual packages”? Where do our priorities lie? Which Jesus are we preaching when pomp and splendour becomes more important than reaching out to the poor?

    I agree with you that if someone wanted to spend K10,000 to meet a fellow human being then maybe they should cough up the sum. My reasoning is that if someone is that stupid then perhaps they should pay for it. The problem however is that by so doing the Prophet is sending a wrong signal to the non-believer. Does the Bible not enjoin us to live above reproach? By placing any charges on special prayers, are we not become like Simon who thought he could buy the power of the Holy Spirit? You say that, well, there were many people at the conference. Perhaps so. But there were many more at Jesus’s sermons and he never turned people away. He knew that his work was a sacrifice and availed himself for their needs. Children, the woman with the issue of blood- are these people who in this day would have afforded that K10,000? These hit and run crusades are not going to bring people to God if we are not humble enough to stay behind a little longer to tend to each and every one. Even the great Sing’anga who provided people with Mnchape had enough patience to tend to each and every one of his clients- FOR FREE!

    Your call to responsible journalism is welcome. But I must warn that when Nyasatimes joins the lie that Bushiri performed an iPad miracle and expects us to clap hands just because “this is good for our economy”, we are treading a dangerous path. We need responsible journalism, sure. But much more than that, we need the truth.

    Yours faithfully,

    Peter Mathanyula Wakuba (formerly known as OBanda Joyce Ntilen)

65. THOSE ALL JANALIST ARE DEVILS AND ARE ONLINE TO SEE GOD’S ANGER AMONG ALL MIRACLES THAT HAPENED THEN SAYING THOSE NOSENCE. AND ALL YOU PEOPLE THAT BACK FOOLISH ATTACK YOU CAN’T PROOF YOUR SPIRITUAL LIFE AND EVEN YOU CONTRIBUTE NOTHING TO THE KINGDOM NO MATTERE HOW YOU CAN BE ANGRY OR DISAAGREE GOD WILL PUNISH YOU REPENT

66. Read again that bible coz it doesn’t only say of false prophets but how you shall know them. The same bible talks of Gods prophets whom God will use in the later days who shall prophecy and see visions and dream dreams. But I have never come across a scripture that says you should pray using corsery(korona) or by using the name of virgin Mary. Plse if you find these verses share them to me to appreciate the way you conduct your prayers!But at least the bible talks of prophets and for your information the whole bible if full of prophecies. If you don’t believe in prophets then stop believing in the bible. The bible says believe in prophets for you to profit and in God for you to be established. Bible doesn’t say believe in corsery-never.

67. Jesus said you can do more than what I do only if you believe but he did not mean boasting as prophets of today do, read the bible carefully and way you understand better for you because you see the difference between true and false prophets,remember the bible tells us that there was one prophet at atime not wife and husband, brother and sister, may God have Mercy!!!

68. Pharisees could oppose to Jesus Christ preaching and Miracles and Jesus said, the things I am doing, you will do also greater than these only to them who believes. So I am not surprised if people today still oppose the work of God in men of God like Bushiri. Devil is using them to hinder salvation to many lost souls.

69.

70. i too agree with the writer of this article, people are just critisize out of envy..i was at the mzuzu stadium during the time of crusade..i benefited so much from the teachings free of charge..enanu mukhalira zomwezo zomangonyoza azanu akupita patsogolo..

71. Damn u and ur bushiri.worship God not a mortal

72. Worship God not man. People have the tendency to praise and worship other people while God is just watching them. Bushiri is a human being. The pope is a human being. Yet people go crazy like we are looking at God. These people are people just like we are. They have sinful thoughts and they sin just like the rest of us. There is nothing that distinguishes them in the eyes of God than any other human being. Flashy displays impress people. remember the devil was the lead entertainer in heaven. He knows how to impress human beings.They are not true representatives of Jesus Christ. Remember the devil can also perform miracles. People need to be very careful and open their eyes. There is a direct line to Jesus Christ and it’s called prayer. You do not have to go through any other human being to reach God because he is already there right by your side. All you have to do is talk to him.

73. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm hum nobody knows. Ndipo palibe ngakhale m”modzi olungama. Bible linatelo, kudzabwela aneneli onyenga pa masiku omaliza. Mulungu akanangoweluza dzikoli

74. God looks in the heart not what u are commenting. You don’t know where our Major 1 is coming from. Negative comments will not silence us to go forward with Prophet Bushiri. You are contesting with the Holly Spirit. Let us love men of God.

75. So Mr. Silingwe, your prophet can afford to splash money on renting a Beechcraft but can’t use that money to make his “spiritual items” free instead? He’d rather use his money paying for a Malawi police band show than providing subsidized water?

76. Just eat the Bushiri money in peace madala. I didn’t even finish reading your unbalanced article.

77. Is the author of this article a Bushiri follower or what?Mind you Sunday Times is not for or against Bushiri or whosoever but on sober mind without taking sides I guess the point that Sunday Times was trying to raise is :- why should people pay something when they need special prayers does it mean that those who do not pay or are prayed for during the crusade will not have their prayers answered?How about those in need of special prayers but do not have anything to offer?I guess that’s what the paper is focusing on and saying that 5 Million was spent for the crusade that has nothing to do with those coming for prayers there are more men and women of God in Malawi and beyond that spend Billions for a crusade I will give an example of the world’s richest pastor ‘David Oyedepo’ who has numerous private jets,Universities, in 1998 had a fleet of more than 1000 buses but for him to pray for people he does not tell them to pay a little something.

    1. I think the writer is a Bushiri follower indeed because what he wants the paper to do is to support his ideology of supporting Bushiri when in actual sense the paper is only reporting what the poor were concerned with.

78. Some Journalists are killing our nation

79. koma yesu ali padziko sinamveko kuti amalipilitsa mapemphero

80. I have seriously followed the article above. I have learnt that there are people who appreciate the works of Bushiri and others totally do not trust him for whatever reasons. My humble question is, “Are people forced to attend Bushiri’s gatherings? If the answer is NO then leave him alone. I rest my case.

81. Your belief in Bushiri should not diny the fact that others do not!the repoter did his level best only that you just want to boost that you know better than him bet thus not the way we go about it! You have taken a wrong approach

82. Am a fan a very big fan of this guy….he inspires me…as a person not as a pastor…

83. After all the negative stories that came out before the Mzuzu Crusade, I thought journalists would go there to find out if Major Prophet Shepherd Bushiri is really a Man of God or not. If they had gone with that purpose, they would have reported what really happened there that was more newsworthy. There were people who could not walk for years but started walking and running right there; There was a lady from Zambia whose relative died the day before but rose again when the Prophet declared that people will receive good news through their phones.. I almost forgot this lady from Tanzania who, after the same declaration, received a call from her partner that they have been given the large contract that was looking impossible to get. And there was this man who brought his two sons, one dumb and another one deaf. They started hearing and speaking for the first time in their lives right there. And both were more than seven years old. And then this lady whose womb was removed by doctors more than five years ago but started menstruation at the crusade.

    To our media, all this is not newsworthy, but two people who started complaining because they went to a wrong place. Why did they not go to all these other churches that offer free things? That is why I did not wait for somebody to tell me trash about the crusade. I watched it myself on all the three days, live on Prophetic Channel. If I was there in person and was advised to pay K100000 to meet the Prophet, I would have paid immediately. Two minutes with him is worth millions of kwachas. I know who I am talking about: Major Prophet Shepherd Bushiri. He is not called ‘Major 1’ for nothing. He can change your life forever.

84. Well crafted. Negativity is destroying out nation big time! After all he uses his rosources to do what ever he does

85. The author of this Nyasa Times opinion is the one who is completely mixed up and deluded like so many people these days. You need to separate the word of God from all things secular. Do not mix God with Caesar. God should not be used to fill Caesar’s (the country’s) silos. I do not blame you. In these end times the Devil is coming in all sorts of disguises but his ultimate aim is TO STEAL, TO DESTROY AND TO KILL. He uses people without them knowing it. Great miracles will take place but they will not be from GOD.

    From the point of view of professional journalism the article communicated what it wanted to communicate namely that instead of humility there was pomposity. In short, what was happening was not in tandem with nature of God and His Son Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. MANY SHALL COME AND THEY SHALL LEAD MANY AWAY.

    May God Almighty Bless You and Guide You.

86. mmmmmmmm kaya

87. People People if you don’t have anything to say or your ignorant of something please its better to keep quiet. I am one of those who went to Mzuzu all the way from Lilongwe. There was no such request of money for you to meet with the prophet. What we should know he had very busy schedule not to be meeting people one to one. We all met/saw the prophet when he was on pulpit. He had a mission to do there to preach and deliver people from different sufferings spiritually. The sick were healed the lame were walking you could see throwing away the wheel chairs, What is that. Instead of praising God then you talk bad of the Man of God. Don’t invite curses on yourself please. Major Prophet is not for you alone or not for Malawi but for the whole world.

    The bible says, people can see but cant see, hear but they cant hear which means even if someone seems to be looking, but cant see anything, even you hear the lame are walking but you believe. I pray that God should help you to realize that God is God of wonders and miracles. The bible says if you can have faith you will do greater things than these(what Jesus was doing). ask yourself when is this going to happen and who is going to do it? Here is major 1 doing it. So what is your problem. May God open your spiritual eyes to see.

    There were many people who came from outside Malawi, RSA, Tanzania, Zambia, Mozambique just to mention a few. Let me tell you these are well educated people than we are, rich than we are etc do you think their countries would just let them come for nothing? They know there is substance in this ministry and the man of God. Even here in Malawi people travelled all the way from Chikwawa, Mulanje, Chitipa ect to see the great man of God.

    I wonder people travel all the way to Nigeria, to RSA, to meet men of God using their own resources the same Major anamusiya ku Malawi kuno pano akukwere ndege to visit him in RSA. Why don’t they complain, better when he was in Malawi. There was no such thing in Mzuzu that people were being asked for money to meet the Prophet. With anything he didnt have anything to say or someone just made it to discredit the Ministry. The danger is those people who are doing this may think they are winning spreading bad news which are not even true, later the Lord will judge them. Because the bible say whatever we sow we shall reap in abundance of it. So becareful what type of seed we sow the same shall return to you. Those who have been involved simply, you can come out of danger just by repenting and ask God for forgiveness, it shall be well with you but if you remain defiantly calamity is waiting upon your life.(free advice)

    Major Prophet we love you keep on doing great and wonderful works of God.

88. It is interesting how people who are not journalists believe they know how journalists should have been practising. This is crazy–consider a carpenter telling a doctor or a lawyer how he should have been working. Mr Silungwe and all who attack Malawian journalists are just exposing their ignorance on what journalism is all about. Journalism is not praise worship where one has to focus on positive things. Yes there is that branch of journalism but it has sections in the newspaper, radio and Tv where it is done but there is also the one which Mandy did and it is JOURNALISM whether you like it or not. Mr Silungwe’s ignorance on matters journalism are further exposed by his attack on the reporter. he has to know that for a story to come out, it is not a reporter’s decision. If anything, attack the editor of the paper for seeing something newsworthy in Mandy’s TRASH. Let us learn to repsect other people’s professions. Mr Silungwe is clearly advancing the interests of Bushiri and a minority group that supports the Prophet but the paper serves a larger group of Malawians. Reporters are not PROs and should not do PRO’s job. Thmbs up Sunday Times and Mandy Pondani

89. Tsoka mtunda ndi nyanja poti oyipa atsikira komweko m’masiku otsiliza kudzakhala aneneli onyenga ochita zozwizwitsa

90. hahahahahah!!!!!!! izi ndiye zopusa izi, major 1 ndiye chani? kumangobela anthu basi, Mulungu akulangeni nose

91. the story of a man from congo, helping pastors in africa, show them the right path, poor souls siphoned from the truth…. save ur soul

92. I went to visit Prophet Bushiri in South Africa in August this year i was amazed to discover what a golden economic opportunity our country has exported to the Rainbow country in terms of tourism and national economy in general.

    Most delegates to three day meeting with the Prophet couldn’t understand how Malawi as country could lose such anointed man and a blessing of God because jealousy.

    Malawians keep on talking nonsense about Prophet Bushiri certainly this will not change the divine purpose of on Prophet’s life and his ministry.
    Solomon said house of David shall continually be blessed. Understandingly if God called Prophet Bushiri the anointing and blessing shall perpetually rest on plus or minus negative publicity.

    MAJOR 1 GOD BLESS YOU FOR EVER

93. Mtima woipa wa nsanje basi ” nothing else.” Ayambitse awo ma church tione ngati angachite kanthu. Anzanutu m’maiko ambiri amasilila kukhala ndi munthu ngati ameneyu.

94. It seems that there is a lot of happily deceived people out there, who are very comfortable with the state of deception they are in mostly because they are lazy and DO NOT want to understand Gods word which can readily be accessed in the Holy Bible. Instead they are happy with parting with their hard earned money in exchange of promises of quick fixes, be it healing, get-rich-quick, marriage plus the numerous other current socio-economic problems that the devil is currently using. However, it is through Gods grace that some of these people will open their eyes and realize these scams which are very well documented in the word of God. The Bible tells us that if we ‘seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, everything will be given unto us’. Period…….you want to be living in sin and expect that miracles from your ‘prophets’ will change Gods’ word? Sorry! Sin was, is and will always be that which disconnects us from God. As for you guys mukupusitsika ndima ‘prophet’ a zandalamawa, kufa safelana, okuuzani alipo ambiri, mwasankha nokha kukhala moyo opembedza mafano anuwo. You can continue comforting yourselves by choosing and applying some bible verses to suit your ego BUT you will not fool the Almighty. Worse still kunamiza anthu mu dzina la Mulungu nde tsoka kwa inu! Tiyeni tiwerenge maBaibulo athu, alipo aulere ambirimbiri. Lets not cheat people that the word of God is for sale.

95. All comments made regarding this article are permissible but not all of them are either constructive in nature because the commentators have taken sides. First, it is not wrong for reporters to negative issues pertaining our country, political and religious leaders. As society we need to be told the truth be it positive or negative. As readers we should not expect to read positive stories only regarding our country when things are not right, no. In in the countries you mention…UK, USA, South Africa reporters be it in print or electronic media report both positive and negative issues affecting their countries, political, religious leaders as well as celebrities and there is no fuss about that. Why Malawi be exceptional? Should we fed with lies always? We want nothing but the truth. As for you journalists ensure that you stories are more balanced and make sure that you verify with all parties involved before writing your articles otherwise people may think you are biased.

96. let’s not waste time amalawi kulimbana ndi a khilisitu… inu ngati muli opemphela molingana ndi Chi khilisitu chenicheni, do what you can but do it quickly and to ur best….. individual responsibility as it is wrtn in Ezekiel chpt 18.. say nthn against my prophets and do thm no harm.. in Psalms and rmba… in the last days I will give out my spirit…. as he the lord God Almighty promised Joel……… read the Bible for knowledge and understanding…….

97. I agree with the writer of this column. The problem with us Malawians especially journalists is that we hate our country and love to castigate our leaders. Just read the papers, they are full of negative stories about the country and its leaders. I really wonder what they are taught at their schools. Their lectures should be ashamed of this. Sometimes I laugh when people say we have professional journalists. I have had an opportunity of travelling to other countries and when I compare with what is happening here I always see trash. Go to Kenya, europe see how people report, their reports and criticisms are constructive.
    For Bushiri and his followers please do not be discouraged, even Jesus was denied by his own people and am not surprised by what some of our papers are writing. The only problem that they have is JEALOUS and ENVY. They see a man from humble beginnings rising and they are not happy. AM happy with you Bushiri because you have risen in the Name of Jesus not cash gate. People are talking about your wealth etc, but I have seen that you have a good way of raising funds like any religious institution does, you do not steal. I have seen Word Alive Church selling water, SDA selling books, people paying tithe and other offerings- whats wrong with Bushiri. Let Bushiri be Judged by God if what he is doing is evil. We are not Judges. Lastly Prophet Bushiri am proud of you for what you are doing by giving hope to the hopeless and by raising the Malawi flag. Am also happy that you spend time to pray for our leaders while some of us only know how to despise and castigate them. May the Lord Bless you!!

99. In Major 1’s relocating to South Africa, Malawi has lost a golden opportunity of earning forex from evangelical tourists that visit Major 1’s mission in South Africa. all because of nsanje?

100. Tsoka mtunda ndi nyanja popeza oipa mwatsikira konko.musiyeni tiligu ndi namsongole akulire limodzi

101. I read the Sunday Times article and was shocked to learn that the Mzuzu crusade was for the rich. This in accordance with Christian values is unacceptable. As many have argued on this forum Jesus never charged for the services he was offering to people and I thought we as Christians are supposed to emulate his examples? I thought Mr Silungwe wanted to dispute the fact that people were paying for services but he actually confirms that much to my dismay! To Silungwe and all those looking at this issue from an economic benefit point of view my simple question is if the services were to be provided free of charge would there be an impact on the benefits which you seem to place so highly above spiritual benefits of the poor?

102. I am I south African and we are very blessed and highly favoured by god for sending us his prophet in south Africa. We love major prophet shepherd bushiri in south Africa and we have accepted him that’s why god is blessing our country and economy so much.and you people of Malawi you will keep complaining and doubting him while us here god is blessing us every day through him.major one is our papa and we love him so whatever the papers writes about him god will keep on blessing and using him more each day. Shalom

     1. “god” indeed is blessing you.
        The Living God will punish you altogether!

     2. which blessings are you talking about? xenophobia and Zuma’s corruption? fotsek

103. People who report nonsense were not even there. K10,000 was for dinner at grand palace. Musanenere umboni wabodzi. Bushiri woueeeeee iyeeeeehe

104. Ine ndine wa CCAP ndakwatira ku catholic ndaphuzira ku Seventhday konseko palibe hithu chaulere chomwe ndinatengako zonse zamulungu ndimagula leave Bushiri alone eeeh komaa tapangani zanu nanu zikubweletseni ndalama

105. Seventh Day Adventist, go house to house selling calendars, some funny books etc. Catholics sell the rosaries, are hymn books and bibles given free every Sunday at CCAP? Hypocrisy at its best. Anyway, the bottles and the labels are bought what about carriage costs, this is simple costing, but most Malawians are illiterate I can understand.

     1. You are trying to justify one wrong by citing another? That’s not gonna fly. Besides, calendars are fundraising items. “Spiritual oil” shouldn’t be

106. But we have to know that there were not a place in the Bible where healing on spiritual blessing was sold. It was written in the Bible that freely you have received and freely give. What happens to people who are poor? In the book of James there it was written about annointing with oil but not for sale. Selling spiritual blessings is not Biblical. You have raised an issue of objectivity I think Nyasa Times should learn about objectivity and social responsibility as most of the times it reports from one angle.

     1. Nathan I agree with you very much,selling Books,water etc is a different thing with asking someone to pay when in need of prayers.Then someone says NBS was there to make money what is the connection between NBS and the word of God?What people do not understand including the author they think Sunday Times is against Bushiri thus because they support him they want everyone to follow suit.There is no verse in the bible where someone had to pay something inorder to be prayed for even if we ask Muslims or Rastas they will say even Muhamad nor Selaise did tell people to pay something for a prayer simply because they spent money.Other churches have invested in things that bring money like introducing Univesities,media houses etc as part of meeting their own costs.

107. All we have to do is to understand etiquettes of christianity. We cant know what is really going on if we cant understand what the bible is telling us. strange behaviours or suspicious things need to be questioned. People should be free to question something which is inconsistent with biblical teachings. People need spiritual salvation and not economic salvation.

     Prophets, pastors or reverends should exist to help people live a spiritual life and not a luxury life. So I am of the view that the economy of the country has nothing to do with the kingdom of God. that is where things are going wrong these days. our prophets are putting money first in their lives and not God.

     in Journalism, there is a news value of unusualness. When a dog bites a man, that does not qualify to be news, but when a man bites a dog, that becomes great news. So the same thing with what the author you are criticising wrote.

     The question is why should people pay for spiritual services which are meant to be free? Why should people pay an appointment fee in order for him/her see the prophet? do you mean that the church has embarked on business inside the church in which Jesus christ denounced? Mr Kelvin, i think you are the one to be schooled on real journalism so that you should be seeing things with a mental eye. Otherwise i dont see any problem with Sunday Times on the issue unless if you tell us that you are performing some public relations tasks for these Prophets. You can read the whole chapter of Jeremiah 28.

     1. Andrew Nyondo I agree with you so much.The problem with Kelvin is he thinks Sunday times is against Bushiri and the team.He(Kelvin) should imagine if I owned a company and advertised for a vacancy then he applys and I tell him to come and attend the interview but on condition that he must pay me something because I happen to have shortlisted a lot of people how would he feel?Sunday Times is not against Bushiri but only reporting the impact on the vulnerable its the same thing a prospectus employer demanding for sex if one wants to be employed simply because there is a list of people who want employment.So someone is even saying ‘ngati amalipilitsa maliro,chikwati ndiye izi bwanji?I feel sorry for people who do not understand the word of God him too(Kelvin) why has he not interviewed religious leaders both Islamic and Christian scholars on the same yet he has written the article simply because he supports Bushiri and is avoiding critics.

108. Prophet Bushiri spent 150 million for this crusade what is K1000 and there was no one in stadium asked to pay for him to be prayed for. Malawi malawi malawi stop lying I was there myself

     1. He spent 150 million chartering private plane, buying a police band, living in an expensive hotel etc. Why should the poor pay for such useless costs? Is it not for pride that he spent all this money? Can’t he come by bus or South African Airlines? Can’t he enter Mzuzu without the unnecessary pomp and splendor? Don’t justify nonsense! He didn’t spend that money for God. He spent it on his ego!!

109. I salute you Kelvin Sulungwe. That is totally true. I sometimes wonder what these journalists report. I even ask myself questions; are they reporting out of hate, ignorance or for the betterment of our nations? Do they have editors in their work? It time wina Nyasa, Let’s us hold hands to develop our country. Sooner or later we will regret! Bravo Silungwe my student at Rose Garden. Keep It Up!

     1. You taught him poorly. You should be ashamed.

110. WAS THERE. PEOPLE MADE MONEY. EVEN NBS BANK WAS THERE. REST HOUSES AND LODGES WERE FULL. RESTAURANTS HAD NO FOOD. FOR THE FIRST TIME MZUZU BECAME BOTH AN INTERNATIONAL SPIRITUAL AND COMMERCIAL CITY. IF HE HAD STAYED LONGER, MZUZU BUSINESS MEN AND WOMEN WOULD HAVE GROWN. BUSHIRI COME BACK. ENAWO ASIYENI. AMEN

111. What happpened to basic word of God. Using word of God to exploit his people..Mathero ache samakhala wocheza…Only time will tell, you think you in heaven but you are hell.

112. God warned us of the last days prophets and its wise to check what the bible says.
     Its also Gods will to advise one onother of the dangers of just following anybody.
     Jesus said it all in Mathews 24, read very carefully. Read 2Timothy 4 carefully again.
     Dont be taken by miracles or ritches check their character.

113. I 100% agree with Enukweni comment and also realised why AMERICAN Evangelist Leonnard Bonke spoke when he came to Malawi some years back. In his speech he said I will never come back to this country coz this is a christian killing nation. Servants of God are killed physically and spiritually. We dont speak good of God’s annointed people. Everytime blabbing!! When are we going to experience the presence of God in our nation? LORD I STAND TO REPENT ON BEHALF OF OUR NATION. WE HAVE DONE WICKED THINGS AGAINST YOUR SERVANTS. PLEASE FORGIVE US. IN JESUS CHRIST NAME

114. No problem with ASKING people to pay something before prayers as it is of FREE WILL. Osafuna akhale tione ngati ku Church kwawo sapeleka chopeleka – and it has a MINIMUM

115. Masiku Otsiliza pano chafikadi chimaliziro kugulisa chipulumutso Man…… Hmmmmm so bad

116. I totally agree. Reporting in Malawi is PATHETIC at its best. They find a little angle in a “story” and spend a whole page spewing bile on it. Most journalists think negative reporting sells. Take soccer for example, most papers are busy telling us about BAGGIO this, Ng’ambi panopa tsopano wamwesa njomba munthu just to get back at the National coach Mtawali for not giving him space in the upcoming game. None of them are profilling the young and upcoming youngsters who are currently in the national team for morale purposes…..and then there is the issue of writing numbers and money. These “journalists” amangoyika ma decimal point wherever they fell like, and don’t get me started with the typos and spelling mistakes. Its like their newsrooms don’t have sobber minded editors!!! Gosh!

117. The mayor of Mzuzu shuold straregize by persuading Bushiri to be holding his crusades in Mzuzu frequently as as the economic benefits of these crusades are ernomous. Mzuzu was a wash with foreigners who brought forex. Hotels and lodges were fully booked. Vendors sold a lot of stuff. Taxi, mini buses made a killing. Bushiri love or hate him knows how to attract a crowd. Use him please.

118. A Kelvin Silugwe, akupatsani zingati for publicity. You have no real story here apart from being a mouth piece of Bushiri

119. mawu muwuzen ameneyo osamangolemba nkhan mutalezera…for ur own information the from sunday times its a lady mandy pondani not pindan i thnk nxt tym azalembe ali sober

120. Pliz dont compare zinthu zapanopa ndi za some 2000 years way back. Jesus time and our time are two different worlds. Nsanje siumuna let the boy live long for the benefit of others. Sizokakamiza izi ndi chisankho. Keep up Bushiri and come back! we need u in zomba as well.

121. Ngati anthu amalipiritsa inatizo, ukwati, maliro, chilangizo, etc pali chani apa?

122. ‘Judge not and you will not be Judged’, says the Lord! Those of us who quote one verse in the Bible and use it to our advantage of Judging others should first do a thorough homework. You may find yourself acting like those who went to Jesus saying someone is healing people and doing so many other things. But Jesus said if he is doing these in my Name leave him! So let’s leave the Prophets do what God has anoited them to deliver while we should be worrying about how to remove the log in our own eyes.

123. I totally agree with all who portray Malawians as envy people but I don’t agree with some of you who think the negative attitude towards your Prophet is out of Malice and envy. When people condemn the Ipad miracle and the walking in the air its not envy but wisdom . People are now reading there Bibles and understand what the last days will carry. Alot more is coming and you ain’t seen anything yet. Kelvin Silungwe its only when you deep you’re head in dark waters that you don’t see your own finger.

124. Iwe throw your crap elsewhere. It’s one thing to ask people to help with sponsorship and another to ask people to pay for prayers. ASKING PEOPLE TO PAY FOR PRAYERS??? THAT IS BIG NEWS IDIOT

     1. tamuuzeni galu ameneyu

125. We’re in the last days. Always lead the Holy Bible carefully and follow the bible based teachings with Jesus during His ministry on earth.

126. Koma tiziona, ndimasiku omalizatu awa

127. Mr writer, I expected to a scriptural backing in your story in this supposed ‘spiritual’ writing. Or I have seen is hate reporting on the Sunday times reporter!. Tell me me one thing here, where did you ever read of people paying money to meet Jesus Christ?. Where did you see Him selling the so called ‘spiritual something ‘?. All you are talking about is the supposed economic gains ….come on did Jesus come to help the world economies??…you need to know why Jesus Christ came to earth, then you will know who is continuing His mission. The gospel is not there for any economic or financial gains. Free as received, free given. We don’t rate Christianity or christian contributions in terms of economic effect. That’s for politicians and the like. Christianity is measured by the Bible!!!. Clear ??? But I know you won’t want to listen. Probably due to economic and financial factors

     1. True brother, money is the root of all evil. Splinter Churches are breaking away from parent churches, not because of differing ideologies, but money, otherwise they would easily find among the existing churches one which suits their ideologies. Everyday new churches are being formed because of economic gains their founders would enjoy. Blind royalty is what is killing most of their followers. People are more than willing to eat snakes just because the prophet says so. Many people in recent history have been misled by the supposedly men of God (Prophets). David Koresh, Marshall Applewhite, Bonnie Nettles, Rev. Sun Myung Moon, David Moses Berg, Warren Jeffs, Elbert Spriggs, Joseph Kibweteere of Uganda are just a few.

        Make no mistake about it, the church or christianity has become a money making enterprise. People feel obliged to buy or give in an attempt not to displease God or men of God.

     2. I couldn’t have said it more clearly myself

     3. even in Jesus time, he was receiving cash from people, whats wrong with bushiri, for your own understanding, consider

        John 12:6, (6 This He said , not that He cared for the poor , but because He was a thief , and had the money box; and He used to take what was put in it.)

128. Well,well,well, Im lost of words to c a jouqnalist pumping sense into a fellow journalist like this. HE must really hv emulated ZODIAK which told us the many benefits of the crusade according to pple intervd and what one cud c for oneself. Daily Times Apa Mwapala Zedi.

129. People people, people of Malawi, Envy and jealous. That’s why Bushiri has its head quarters in South Africa. I also heard pastors saying, Mzuzu because many Christians are flocking to his church and eventually we will not have members”. Who is the problem then. Lets be positive and be proud of Malawi. The government of Nigeria is putting TB Joshua as one of the important people there because of the economic gains the country is getting from his crusades. Now, its the people of south Africa not Malawi because of this Envy. The problem is that people always look at the cashgate issues and no development.

     Prophet Bushiri, stay there in South Africa and let the people there be blessed. We can not handle you spiritually. The problem is that people know your background, Mzuzu and Moyale secondary schools, Zolozolo CCAP Church, ECG at Chibanja , Your Church in LL and now in South Africa and many nations. Don’t look back and pray for them and one day they will need your prayers.

     Malawians lets love our country and be proud of our people if they are putting us on the map.

130. Kelvin Silungwe,

     It’s not only Sunday Times, but Zodiak and Times TV carried the story.

     I think it is you who is biased toward the prophet, you have concentrated on the positive side of the crusade ignoring all the weaknesses.

     Sindikamba zambiri.

131. Jeolousy Malawians .Had it he was white it have been acceptable .Think of it who is expected to pay for bills incurred during the function .For your own information this prophet will never come back to our country and he with continue generating forex for South Africa .Who has lost .

     1. Why organize a conference in the first place if you don’t have the means?

        1. ask him brother!

132. I find article also as trash. Firstly, there should no such spiritual things you are saying. They are just idols. The Bible is very clear is for ever worshipper is to believe in God and only Him and no any other thing because the healing comes from the Mighty Lord. Any payment to any so called Prophets is a clear sign of departing from the teaching of Jesus. You have turned the Word of God as your money making business!
